Depeche Mode Announces Dates for Upcoming World Tour

March 11th, 2013

The English electronic music band Depeche Mode will visit the U.S. during the North American leg of its Delta Machine world tour. The first show over here will be in Detroit on August 22; the last in Phoenix on October 8.

The group couldn’t be more excited to get out and give loyal fans the show of their lives, as well as inspire some new fans along the way.

"I'm really looking forward to getting out there and performing," said Dave Gahan in a news release. "There are so many die-hard Depeche Mode fans who have been with us every step of this journey that I can't wait to see. I also hope that we gain some new fans with the release of Delta Machine, and I look forward to exposing them to a great Depeche Mode live performance."

The group's Martin Gore added, "I enjoy being in front of an audience because our songs really take on a life of their own when performed live. When we're performing, the stage almost becomes a mirror for the people who have been there since the beginning, and we become a reflection of our audience. I'm looking forward to this tour for that very reason."

Depeche Mode’s 13th studio album, Delta Machine, is set to be released on March 26. Ticket pre-sales run from April 1 (10 a.m. local time) to April 5 (10 p.m. local time). Tickets go on sale to the public on April 6 at ConcertTickets.com.
